IKO Sheathing Wall Insulation
IKO Ener-Air and IKO Enerfoil are non-structural sheathing rigid polyisocyanurate insulation boards, engineered to provide improved thermal resistance. Both are HCFC-free.
IKO’s innovative building envelope insulation systems are at the forefront of wall design. IKO Enerfoil™ and IKO Ener-Air™ high performing polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation sheathing systems offer the highest R-value per inch. When IKO Enerfoil® is used with AquaBarrier™ Tapes or AcrylicStick™ SA Tapes or IKO Ener-Air™ is used with AquaBarrier VP Tapes, this innovative 2-IN-1 system eliminates the need for a separate membrane system to control air and vapour.
Features & benefits
IKO Enerfoil® - Building Envelope Insulation
- Polyiso has the highest R-value per inch of any rigid foam board insulation. Increased thermal resistance improves wall energy efficiency performance.
- Reduces initial construction costs. The higher thermal values per inch of Enerfoil insulation sheathing means that it requires less space than less efficient insulation to deliver the same level of performance.
- Controls sound. Enerfoil reduces noise, adding quiet comfort to the building enclosure. Enerfoil has been tested to deliver world class STC qualities.
- Non-emissive odour tested. Enerfoil has passed testing for odour, assuring building occupants that industry standards are met.
- User-friendly. Laminated foil facers on both sides of the sheathing provide moderate abuse-resistance on the job site. Enerfoil is lightweight and easy to cut, thus reducing labour costs on-site. Stud and fastener line indicators improve accuracy of installation.
- Provides versatility. Foil facers provide the long-term moisture resistance necessary for various wall applications. Enerfoil’s facers are also compatible with most solvent-based materials.
- Has a uniform thickness for consistently maintaining air space requirements in cavity wall applications.
- Enerfoil can work as a 4-IN-1 Insulated Weather-Resistive Barrier (WRB) System for exterior walls. When Enerfoil is detailed with AcrylicStick SA Tapes, the Enerfoil System can be a code-compliant non-permable 4-in-1 WRB assembly for exterior walls, thus providing four major design benefits - insulation, air barrier, weather resistive vapour barrier and sound reduction all at once. This eliminates the need for a building wrap and a vapour barrier
IKO Ener-Air™ Sheathing - Wall Insulation
- Polyiso has the highest R-value per inch of any rigid foam board insulation. Increased thermal resistance improves wall energy efficiency performance.
- Effective strategy to reduce initial construction costs. The higher thermal values per inch of Ener-Air insulation sheathing means that it requires less space than other less efficient insulation to deliver the same level of performance.
- Controls sound. Ener-Air reduces noise, adding quiet comfort to the building enclosure. Ener-Air has been tested to deliver world class STC qualities.
- Non-emissive odour tested. Ener-Air has passed testing for odour, assuring building occupants that industry standards are met.
- User-friendly. Coated glass fiber facers on both sides of the sheathing provide moderate abuse-resistance on the job site. Ener-Air is lightweight & easy to cut, thus reducing labour costs on site. Stud and fastener line indicators improve accuracy of installation.
- Provides versatility. Coated glass fiber facers provide the long term moisture resistance necessary for various wall applications. The facers are also compatible with most solvent-based materials.
- Has a uniform thickness for consistently maintaining air space requirements in wall applications.
- Ener-Air can work as a Weather-Resistive Barrier (WRB) for exterior walls. When detailed with IKO AquaBarrier VP Tapes, the Ener-Air system can be a code compliant, vapour-permeable WRB assembly thus providing three major design features - insulation, weather resistive air barrier and sound reduction all at once. This eliminates the need for a building wrap and an air barrier.
